Not really much at all by coaches, who are employees. Try slapping someone where you work and see what happens.

My point is there is far less than slapping someone that would also get a regular person fired, and that is including what coaches have been known to do

This reminds me of when it all went down hill. 2001 vs lsu in the sec championship. Tony V gonna win us a natty though this year. Bet.

How about berating someone with a barrage of curse words on national tv? Have you ever seen a coach do that???

I see you’ve learned nothing about being a UT fan

Respect

Respect to coach Howard. He like a lot of nba players knows chandlers a baller and loves this game. Probably meant a lot to chandler the nba veteran did that.

Bbq??

 

[NighthawkVol]

Agree, he got a lot of crap after the Wisconsin debacle, but thi was all class. Respect to him

People are nuanced. Like life.

 

[BrookhavenVol]

I hate that Juwan is getting so much positive publicity for this. Did you hear the TNT halftime guys gushing over this??

Yes and I've seen it happen in the workplace too. There's a line most places between verbal and physical aggression.
And in sports, such verbal aggression is usually considered part of the game. Not so with physical aggression.

I’m not saying they are equal offenses, I’m saying they both could get a lot of folks fired

Respect

He’s still a thug. His actions after the WI game were inexcusable!

We can’t say thug. I thought it describes a person with questionable moral character, but people equate it as being racially charged.

Of course they are. Basketball has a blue blood clique and Michigan basketball is part of that clique.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Chandler was absolutely crushed. He left it all on the floor.

 

[BrookhavenVol]

Just read this:

Chandler grew up playing his sons Jace and Jett Howard. Howard embraced him in the handshake line and gave him some words of encouragement.
“He said to keep my head up. It’s tough for me, and he knew I wanted to get the win,” Chandler said. “I know him. I’ve played with his sons since, like, fourth grade. So, I’ve know him for a long time.
“He’s a great coach. I love him. He told me to keep my head up and you played your heart out. That’s what he told me.”

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Just a PR play from him trying to rebuild his image.

 

[Frozevol]

Now my motivation turns to rooting against Michigan. Can’t beat them so I’ll just root against them.

You mean the Heistman debacle and ridiculous charge call in back in 08? wasn’t enough for you ?

 

[EasternVol]

It's possible to write it and it's possible to say it. And it's not racially charged. I know thugs of various races.
I wouldn't call Howard a thug. Thugs are generally tough. That girly slap after the Wisconsin game wasn't tough.

 

[VolDaddy61]

From what I understand, Kennedy played aau ball with his son, they have a relationship, tough way to end the season, my heart hurts for these young men. I hope everyone who is able elects to run it back next season, it was a helluva ride GB.

 

[Volfan1000]

I hope KC comes back.

Barnes should have played Aidoo and Huntley-Hatfield more in this game because they gave Dickerson fits and Fulkerson did absolutely nothing to help Tennessee.

Howard out coached Barnes in this game.

 

[Coddlecreek1]

Looks good for the cameras

Rehabbing his “image” , Chandler is “tooooo grown” for this action
Howard needs to keep the refs in his pocket and the horse shoe up his Fanny.
Puke…..

 

[njvols]

OK, and he paid for it. Plenty. He showed a lot of class today, tells me more about his character than a stupid mistake he made. You disagree?

Chandler says he’s known him since he was a kid from playing ball with his son. Kinda like travel ball parents and coaches all know each other. Good TV moment and Barnes spoke highly of the family from recruiting his son...so that carries some weight... still not a ton of separation from Penny in my mind.

 

[djohnnyg]

I don't like KC crying on shoulder of opposing coach. Imagine if we miss a last second field goal to Bama and Hendon Hooker goes over to Saban and cries on his shoulder right after. Different sport and stakes involved but it's the same concept. Just looks "weird" for lack of better word.

 

[sechamp2012]

Truly — he should have been brought up on assault charges and an arrest record.

Yep, when Woody Hayes Ohio State legendary coach, same conference B1G threw a punch it ended his career. That was in the '70s before all the wokeness. I'm not sure what the difference is.
